President Herzog Strongly Opposes Another Election Cycle
Israeli President Isaac Herzog has expressed strong opposition to the possibility of holding another round of elections, should the upcoming vote fail to produce a clear majority for either political bloc. In an interview set to air Wednesday evening, Herzog stated that repeated elections should be an absolute last resort.
When asked about the criteria he would use to decide whom to task with forming a government, Herzog indicated he would consider the number of recommendations from parties as well as the practical ability to form a coalition. He emphasized that even in the event of a deadlock or a tie, he is "very much against the possibility of repeat elections."
Herzog warned against repeating past scenarios, noting that Israel has already held five election cycles and is now in 2023, "a day of our disaster." He urged the public to participate in the upcoming elections, hoping for a decisive outcome.
The full interview is scheduled to be broadcast on i24NEWS at 7:50 PM.
